Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Electrons in the reaction centre of PS I are transferred to another accepter molecule that has a greater redox potential Reason: The reaction centre is different in both the photosystems

Options

  1. ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
  2. BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3. CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
  4. DBoth Assertion and Reason are false

Correct answer

B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

Step-by-step solution

Electrons in the reaction centre of PS I are also excited when they receive red light of wavelength 700 nm and are transferred to another accepter molecule that has a greater redox potential.
